E1504 Ethyl acetate — is it halal?
Description
The ester of acetic acid and ethanol: a carrier solvent, an extraction solvent (including for decaffeination) and a flavouring. Link to alcohol: yes — the main routes start from fermentation or synthetic ethanol; there are ethanol-free routes and a «natural» one — by fermentation, including from baijiu waste; one of its media allows beef extract. In the body the ester is hydrolysed to ethanol and acetate (JECFA).
